Chapter 1286: Chapter 1293: Wang Chongxiao’s Magnanimity
Just now, she was a bit concerned.
This person, like her, was invited back to Wenhai Academy as a guest and met with the headmaster.
This indicates an exceptional talent.
Xingyuan Venerable also cast his gaze over and said, "Qian Jiao, who might this be?"
Qian Jiao Venerable quickly responded, "I forgot to introduce."
"He is Wang Chongxiao from Taicang State, skilled in Thunder Dao Divine Power. I invited him to clear the Evil Spirits from the remains."
"I just didn’t expect Venerable Lianjing to come as well."
She showed a hint of embarrassment.
Being from Young Emperor Mountain, Venerable Lianjing is also practiced in Thunder Dao Divine Power.
And undoubtedly stronger than Jiang Fan.
But she invited Jiang Fan first, she can’t just drive him away, can she?
Venerable Lianjing was surprised, this middle-aged man is a Thunder Dao Cultivator?
She softly glanced at him, unexpectedly finding that she couldn’t see through his situation.
"Such a formidable Invisibility Magical Treasure, both his cultivation and Divine Skills are impenetrable."
She mused for a moment and said, "No matter, bring him along."
"I’ll focus on relocating the remains, and he can handle clearing the Evil Spirits."
Qian Jiao Venerable slightly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xingyuan Venerable, "Husband, what do you think?"
Xingyuan Venerable scrutinized Jiang Fan and said meaningfully, "Wang Chongxiao?"
"This name sounds very familiar."
Oh?
Qian Jiao Venerable became puzzled, "Now that you mention it, it does ring a bell."
"Wait!"
"Jiang Fan from Taicang State, who roamed the Heavenly Realm, was using Wang Chongxiao’s name, right?"
"You are also from Taicang State, could it be that you are the real Wang Chongxiao who was impersonated?"
Jiang Fan felt guilty; he didn’t expect the name "Wang Chongxiao" to spread following his journey through the Heavenly Realm.
Luckily, he was calm enough to show a pained expression:
"Please forgive me, seniors, it is indeed me!"
Xingyuan Venerable and Qian Jiao Venerable showed peculiar expressions.
Qian Jiao Venerable couldn’t help muttering, "I thought it was a pseudonym made up by Jiang Fan."
"Turns out, he’s actually real?"
She was at a loss of how to comfort for a moment.
After all, Jiang Fan had impersonated Wang Chongxiao and done many things in the Heavenly Realm that fueled the Ancient Giants’ wrath.
The weight of the blame is shouldered, one piece at a time.
It’s easy to imagine he has already become a target the Ancient Giants are determined to eliminate!
Bang!
Venerable Lianjing slapped the table in anger, cursing, "Again, it’s this damn Jiang Fan..."
Halfway through her scold, remembering the Sage’s Engraving "to hit is to be dear, to scold is to love" on Jiang Fan,
She quickly changed her words, "This damned little sweetheart, causing trouble everywhere!"
"Heaven must be blind, why hasn’t he been taken yet?"
Ugh!
Xingyuan Venerable and Qian Jiao Venerable looked astounded at the furious Venerable Lianjing.
Just how miserable was she made by Jiang Fan, causing a Venerate at the Four Declines to become so fraught?
Jiang Fan shuddered with guilt.
If found out, it would truly be the end.
Venerable Lianjing mistakenly thought her outburst frightened Jiang Fan and quickly reined in her anger and said:
"I wasn’t targeting you."
"Like you, I am a victim of Jiang Fan. You and I share the same fate."
"Why don’t you tell us how Jiang Fan impersonated you in the Heavenly Realm and what kind of trouble he caused you?"
"Let’s curse this... this little sweetheart together!"
Jiang Fan was speechless inside.
Should I be mad to curse myself?
The pained expression on his face eased a little, and he shook his head and said:
"I don’t blame Jiang Fan. On the contrary, I admire him greatly."
"For the people of Central Earth, he ventured behind enemy lines, unafraid of sacrifice or bleeding, how noble!"
"What does it matter that he used my name?"
"It is my honor, as Wang Chongxiao, it is my pride."
A hush fell over the hall.
Qian Jiao Venerable couldn’t help but regard Jiang Fan with newfound respect: "Wang Dao You has such a grand perspective!"
"No wonder my son likes you; such noble character and a heart as vast as the sea, truly rare."
Venerable Lianjing was also taken aback.
She couldn’t help but reassess Jiang Fan, asking: "You truly do not resent Jiang Fan?"
"He’s done a lot of bad things in your name after all."
Jiang Fan laughed boldly: "All for Central Earth, for the people."
"Why speak of suffering loss?"
"If using my name can benefit the masses, I am willing for everyone who ascends to the Heavenly Realm to use my name."
After a pause.
Jiang Fan bowed with cupped hands towards Xingyuan Venerable:
"Senior, I am not merely paying lip service."
"In the future, when Hunyuan State undertakes thorny missions in the Heavenly Realm, please do not hesitate to act under my name if identity concerns arise."
"Afterwards, whatever harm the Ancient Giants bring, let it come to me, Wang Chongxiao!"
"As the Buddha said, ’If I do not enter Hell, who will?’"
"I, Wang Chongxiao, am willing to sacrifice myself to pave the way for Central Earth."
Xingyuan Venerable paused slightly, momentarily dazed.
Qian Jiao Venerable covered her mouth, fixedly staring at Jiang Fan, as if she saw a layer of radiant brilliance enveloping him.
The brightest glow of humanity!
She couldn’t help but murmur, "If everyone in Central Earth were like you, the Ancient Giants would have much to fear about their demise."
"Taicang State truly produces such talents."
Venerable Lianjing felt her heart deeply touched.
Could there really be such selfless individuals in this world?
Comparatively, because of one deceitful encounter with Jiang Fan, she bore a grudge, leading to such an end.
Measured against Wang Chongxiao’s insight,
it caused her to feel self-ashamed.
Living half a lifetime, reaching the Heavenly Person Four Declines, yet falling short of a similarly aged, cultivation-poor Wang Chongxiao.
She sighed slightly with admiration and bowed respectfully, "Wang Dao You’s golden words, I am in awe!"
"I too am willing to prioritize the greater good, putting aside my grievances with Jiang Fan."
Jiang Fan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Managed to bluff his way through.
In passing, he also set up Wang Chongxiao.
Soon, Wang Chongxiao would sprout up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, emerging from all corners of the Heavenly Realm.
If it’s mutual harm we’re talking about,
bring it on, let’s see who is afraid!
Jiang Fan nodded and said, "Senior Lianjing, you go to the Heavenly Realm at ease."
"I’ll do my utmost to help restore your Domain."
Venerable Lianjing smiled gently, "Thank you, once in the Heavenly Realm, take care of yourself, don’t mind me."
Her Domain, how could someone in the Nascent Soul Realm hope to repair it?
Even Xingyuan Venerable avoids it.
She looked towards Xingyuan Venerable, asking, "When does Venerate plan to move?"
Xingyuan Venerable replied, "Once my true self returns, I will set off."
Hmm?
Jiang Fan was taken aback, "True self?"
Looking at Xingyuan Venerable standing before him, Jiang Fan was puzzled.
But Venerable Lianjing was not surprised, seeing Jiang Fan’s clueless expression, she said warmly:
"Xingyuan Venerable has been wandering the Nine States for many years, seeking Merit."
"What you see now is merely one of his paper figures."
"It is only when significant events occur that he will return."
Paper, a paper figure?
Jiang Fan recalled Gu Xin’er using a paper figure to leave the Connecting Sky Black Pillar to explore the outside when she was exploring the Heavenly Realm.
Simply adding a drop of blood on it would allow one to share the paper figure’s vision.
Yet the paper figure before him seemed too lifelike.
If no one had mentioned it, he wouldn’t have been able to tell that it was merely a paper figure.
But on reflection,
If the person in the hall was Xingyuan Venerable in person, they would have perceived their arrival as soon as they entered the academy.
There would be no need for Qian Jiao Venerable to burst in and interrupt his chess game in a fluster.
Moreover, this mask he wore might not withstand the probing of a Heavenly Human Five Declines expert.
But the Xingyuan Venerable before him hadn’t doubted it at all.
